- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
- Add the coleslaw mix to the bowl with the dressing. Use a large spoon or tongs to toss the coleslaw until it is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, though the flavors should be well balanced after resting.
Just like that, you have a coleslaw that’s crisp, creamy, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy. Serve it alongside grilled meats or as a refreshing topping for pulled pork sandwiches to add a bright contrast to rich flavors.
